That was a tough segment for Kev to get thru. He has been forced to change the narrative about KU-K-State. A lot of backhanded compliments mixed in there.
OU in no way has a travel advantage
well if they don't, who does? or is every school in the big 12 equal here?
TCU, UT for sure because of many more directs. I guess OKC has a few but that's a pretty damn pud airport and it's a long way from Norman. Really, no one has a huge advantage or disadvantage looking strictly at travel for recruiting purposes..
austin has more directs than okc? ok
and jesus christ man, it is 20 miles from the center of OU campus to will rogers. it is 30 miles from TCU to DFW
Jesus Christ STFU

oscar can absolutely leave his house thirty minutes before take off and still catch his flight and then be in either dallas or chicago in 1.5 hours. kstate has it pretty good. three daily to dallas and two daily to ord.

BITB indeed.
i agree with just about everything in there, except oscar's travel advantages were a little overblown
TCU, Tech and UT are likely a slight edge, but other than that I think it's accurate from a travel standpoint.
BITB indeed.
Weber Answered All Questions Now
Feb 11, 2014 -- 11:30am

oscar Weber has now answered every question at K-State.
Two years ago when athletic director John Currie announced Weber as the new coach at Kansas State, it was greeted with collective yawn by all things purple. Boring hire, recycled coach that couldn't win at Illinois, can't recruit and too nice of a guy to win in today's college basketball is what the critics shouted. I was yawning, too.
A little over a season and half into a tenure Weber says he hopes is his final destination and this coach has done everything they said he couldn't do.
"I don't have to hear whether you're gonna beat (KU) any more, we beat them," Weber told ESPN after K-State's 85-82 overtime win over Kansas Monday night.
There may be a day when beating Kansas at home in the regular season is not the highlight of the year at K-State, but for now, this one single win puts Weber in a whole new position as the coach in Manhattan.
Now that Weber has a win over KU and a remarkable 14-1 home record in Big 12 play, Weber is doing things no K-State coach has done since the days K-State ran side-by-side with their in-state rival. Reagan was President if you can remember that far back. This coach now has a conference co-championship under his belt and is headed to a second straight NCAA tournament thanks to big home wins over Texas and Kansas in the last three days. And this year, nobody is saying Weber is doing it with former coach Frank Martin's players.
That brings us to recruiting. Weber is truly the guy that tries to outwork everyone else in recruiting and he's found a sweet spot in Manhattan. Yes, Manhattan. I don't know when the stereotype will die that you can't recruit players to Manhattan, LHC Bill Snyder doesn't seem to have a huge problem, and look at the advantages Weber has recruiting players to K-State.
Tuesday morning, Holly Rowe of ESPN tweeted that she sees Weber at the Manhattan Airport at 5:00am after he slept for an hour or two. The players are off the day after the game and Weber has an advantage most coaches do not. He's five minutes from the airport and three or four hours from any recruit in America. No driving, no staying in hotel if he doesn't want. If he chooses to watch a game on the visit, he catches the first flight back in the morning and is back in his office by noon and getting ready for practice. oscar Weber has the opportunity to visit more recruits, more often and in less time than pretty much anyone else in the Big 12.
That brings us to freshmen Marcus Foster, Westicles, Nigel Johnson and Jevon Thomas. Foster is the best player on the team and popped for 20 in his first home game against the Jayhawks. He scored 34 over Texas on Saturday. It's pretty inconceivable that this is Foster's best week ever at K-State, something tells me he's got a lot more big wins and big moments in his time at KSU. Westicles is relied on to be a defensive stopper. Johnson was asked to handle the ball in the biggest game of his 18-year-old life and Thomas has been out the past two games after showing some really flashes as a speedy point guard. These are Weber's guys. All of them. And they just beat KU's freshmen. Apparantly recruiting is not going to be an issue and Weber has a pair of big men lined up for next year.
Weber has a shiny new practice facility at K-State that football money paid for and they proudly display a conference title banner in the place. He's also got the rowdiest student section in the Big 12 at his home games and maybe, just maybe, growing alumni support.
The pieces are in place for a nice run at K-State and oscar Weber has now answered every possible question from media or his fans about what he can or cannot do at Kansas State. If he's shown enough love, K-State may be able to keep this coach for a long time even if other schools come calling. Weber wants to do things his way and that makes him a perfect fit for K-State. It's time for K-State fans to embrace it. What more could they possibly hope for?
Omari = Mr. Incredible
I try and keep disliking oscar but then I think of Marcus Foster being a nuclear stud and I find it hard
Good enough for Marcus, good enough for me.
My perception is that the players really like him, but more importantly they play their butts off for he and his staff on a pretty consistent basis.
